On June 11, President of the Republic Emil Loubet was offended by the nationalists during the horse races in Oteil, which he attended (he was hit with a stick on the head); a request was made in the ward about the strange behavior of the police, which was present at the races in excessive numbers, supposedly to protect Loubet, and at the same time did nothing to really protect him.
